Zylone 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2004 Hello everyone, I know many of you including myself come to this site for information and help. We would like to continue to grow and expand the use of Linux to as many people as we can, and help as best we can along the way. We have determined the best way to get this site to grow without the use of ad's on every page, is through the use of donations. Here is our projected goal: If we can gather $1000, that will allow us to get (CENSORED) ad impressions on OSNews.com What are ad impressions you ask?? It means that our logo will be displayed on a page that is loaded on OSNews.com (CENSORED) times! Just imagine how many people that would reach new and old to our site and make it grow tremendously faster than by the old word of mouth technique! I myself have already donated $50 EU to the cause, and hope many more of you will also! To donate, just click on the donation button at the top of the site! Thanks to everyone that supports this site!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
